Heather Cafi, A Spotlight
The CONSORTIUM WASTE (reprinted)
Not everything in DM needs to be defined by the parameters and expectations of
today's game--godlings, sandbaggers, tournaments, life-changing prizes, +20 warriors,
etc, etc. Many yet thrive on arena play, and for many years The Consortium was a
presence in 30+ active arenas. The record of over 400 warriors graduated is not
likely to be bested in our DM lifetimes.
You may know of The Consortium for one or many reasons:
* A different manager and theme in every arena with many personals, DM columns, and
spotlights.
* Helping many rookies and newcomers to understand and prosper in the game.
* Running every rollup, with virtually no DM action.
* 20+ arenas with .600+ W/L record, many with 500+ wins, and some nearing 1000.
* No down challenging, little killing, and great respect for opponents.
* Well known managers like: Pretty Pandora, Crazy Creepster, Fandil The Wise,
Kennelworth, Ace, Senator Bob Dole, Mr. T, Lenpro, Mino, JD Rockefeller, Snuffy,
Oz, Sweetie-Pie, Midas, Uncle Sam, Oremaster, and many more.
* 400+ warriors graduated to ADM, with over 30,000 wins in the game
One major factor in all the success was the running of mid-level, mediocre warriors,
the most important of which was "The Consortium Waste". How would you like to have 9
warriors (these are only examples of many more) provide a record of 175-48-2? No,
not "scum" as by far the majority of wins were by doing damage. These same nine
below provided 16 DM crowns, 4 TVs, and a 98-73-1 tournament record. The
contributions are from DM 20 (Animal Farm--Mino), DM 40 (Demons Of Death--Pretty
Pandora), DM46 (Fandils--Fandil The Wise), DM47 (Land Of Oz--Oz), and DM60 (The Crazy
Creeps--Creepster).
The data provided is "known starting info" supplemented by "graduation info".

These warriors and their managers made a very great contribution to making The
Consortium what it was and is.
As a final note, great warriors can be made with 5-9 WL warriors--the opposite
of The Consortium Waste. Perhaps that makes for another day's presentation.
P.S. By the way, for those of you who think that this type of design is a
"thing of the past", please observe "Hourglass" in DM47 running this very moment (10-
12-04) with an 18-2 record. The Consortium Waste is invaluable and timeless.
Brought to you by the many Consortium managers and scribes.

Swamp Scribbling
by Hammer the WordSmith
A Personal Note from Hammer to His Friends and Friendly Foes:
At the present time Hammer is hard pressed to cull his creative energies to
write entertaining P-ads and more importantly his famous Spotlights that touch the
hearts and minds of those who take the time to feed upon the missives of Hammer the
WordSmith in the various newsletters where Hammer currently has active stables
running on team maintenance throughout the sands of Alastari.
Without going into great detail, suffice it to say that Hammer has encountered a
great trial of patient waiting these past weeks as his former employer has refused to
release payment of his final salary in the aftermath of his resignation and some
other developments in the final month of his employment.
Furthermore, until the proper paperwork is signed and filed, Hammer is unable to
freely leave the State of Qatar to fly back home to the United States to visit with
friends and family for the coming holiday seasons.
Having been subjected to turning his passport over to his employers twice in the
past year to file paperwork and then not receiving his passport until five months and
then five weeks had passed respectively; Hammer is understandably reluctant to
release this important identity document to the administrators of his former
employment yet another time for yet another purpose.
Meanwhile, Hammer is teaching English to local Qatar nationals and other English
students from a variety of countries; patiently awaiting the return from summer
vacation of a former student who serves with the police department, who told Hammer
that should ever the need arise for his help in any matter that Hammer was not to
hesitate to ask.
Rest assured that everything will work out to benefit the patience of Hammer
when God decrees that it be time for Hammer to return to the shores of the good old
US of A to fellowship with friends and family who have not been seen in recent years
past.
Weep not for Hammer in this hour, but rest assured that all is well and Hammer
is content with the hand that has been dealt him.
Perhaps a creative surge will spring forth from something inspired within Hammer
as he reads the fight results, P-ads and Spotlights that appear in this very issue of
our favorite Swamp newsletter.
Just Remember My Friends and Friendly Foes that the Best is Yet to Be!

Turf War IV Updates
Turn 226
Round Two
Well folks, looks like this here Turf War is gonna be a real hoot! We've
currently got 7 alliances and 40 individual managers. Now, doesn't that just make ya
wanna stand up and holler?!
Now, there seems to be an understanding that these here folks are here 'cause I
done something. Well, that pretty much ain't the case. Kudos go out to all the
Alliance Captains for getting their folks here, and to Oz, Tripwire, Bookie (TDH),
Az, P, Master Darque, and all the other folks who pumped up the Turf War on the
Forums. Oh, and before I forget, Hammer, for his ads in other arenas. (Don't want
to forget, my buddy!) So, fellas, from me to you, thanks for your efforts.
Again, a special thanks to Tripwire for posting the early returns on the forums.
Folks, in case you don't know, we have a forum all our own labeled "Turf War" and you
can generally find someone there who can fill you in on what's going on.
Unfortunately, I'm a silent bystander, but I get to see what's going on!
Okay, only question this month was from Buddy Lee in regards to points.
Brother, if you challenge, or if you are challenged and lose the fight, as long as
you ain't killed, it's minus two points either way.
So, let me get on with the scores. I've sent these to Azraelus Prime to post on
the forums, so if they get there early, give him the thanks for it.

** Heathen's Cafe **
Recently, I heard one of the newer managers state something about Damage Ratings
helping a warrior break through parries, dodges, etc. Does anyone know anything
about this? It's the first time I've ever heard it, and it don't sound right to me.
The way I understand it, modifiers for skills from faves, favourite weapon/tactic and
Luck Factor may add or penalize skill areas, but I never heard tell of Damage Rating
doing this! Can you enlighten me?

Angelika and Axelrod
Axelrod Gunner looked down the alley at the Dark Knight who had imbibed just a
tad too much of elven ale that had continually been served to him from a certain
"lady" all night. He barely contained a laugh. The laxative agent that had been
applied would give him a rough night tonight. He turned around and started to the
other end of the alley to meet with his beloved Angelika; why such a beautiful woman
loved such an ugly brute as he was something he couldn't comprehend, but he
appreciated the sentiment.
"Are you ready?", she asked as he approached. "Tonight's mission is very
important. Aside from embarrassing Clowns, that is. The Prime One wants some very
discreet dealings taken care of before he returns and he doesn't want Jealousy aware
of what is going on. So we have to hurry and get done before she realizes that we're
are out on a pre-fight night." She started walking down the street, her fancloth
cloak faded in and out to match the things beyond it, making it appear as if her head
was floating in mid-air from his view.
He shook his head. He was of the same mind as Jealousy concerning the High Lord
these days. Something was wrong with him. But Angelika all but worshipped the
ground that Lord High Commander Azrael walked on. He had saved her from a rape-gang
in Rodeki and then taught her how to defend herself. She thought he was the Light
incarnate. He thought Azrael had gone off his rocker. And if Angelika wanted to
follow the High Lord's command blindly, he would go along to keep her as safe as he
could.
He began to watch more closely as they neared their destination and he eased his
war hammer in its loop on his belt. He saw the building they were headed for and
then he saw the man they had come to meet. Angelika gave the signal she had been
instructed to give and the man returned it. He opened the side door and they all
slipped inside. Axelrod nerves were about to go into overdrive. "The belly of the
beast is where we are," he thought as the door to the Desolate Empire guildhouse
swung shut.

SWAMP SCRIBBLING
by Hammer the WordSmith
An unusually eerie mist was rising from the fetid marshes of the North Fork
swampland as the blood red sun rose once again upon the denizens of the dank.
The fate of an early riser was unceremoniously sealed as curiosity drew the
unsuspecting one near to a disheveled figure that lay prone upon a charred plank of a
once proud warrior vessel.
Prone does not necessarily mean unguarded as the swamp echoed the cries of a
slashed throat as a deadly scimitar swipe met its mark amid the early morning mists.
"Oh! That felt good!"
Soon the unsuspecting swamplanders would shiver at the discovery that The Red
Haired Infidel had unceremoniously landed upon the shores of their beloved swamp!
***** To Whom It May Concern: Upon the premise that last cycle's spotlight finally
landed in the pages of this cycle's newsletter, be it known that Hammer is busy at
work while awaiting a resolution to his paperwork dilemma. Be it further
acknowledged that a few lines of inspired prose fares much better than no lines of
any kind of prose. Hopefully there will be more to write and report next cycle for
all my friends and friendly foes in the swamp to peruse!

Klown War Kronicles
It is I, Boca Mierda yet again, and I want to thank all my loyal public for
making my job easy. There were many rumors this week as there always are, but I want
to address a point of concern that I along with the manager Expatriate of Bleak
Legion share....
I also feel that things have stooped to an all time low in the p-ads and
spotlights of late. With all the sexual comments and innuendoes that have been
filling the p-ads and spotlights, the Expatriate has the right of it. I support the
truth of his words. Fellas, can't we be constructive? I won't say names, but we all
know who the ones involved are. PLEASE grow up!
I give kudos to Bleak Legion's manager for saying the truth no matter the
retaliation that he knew would follow. Everyone should support him for telling the
honest truth. So for now, this is my last printing of the Klown War Kronicles. I
too feel that it has a derogatory effect on the arena when I write this column. I
meant it to be totally on the joke side of things and to make people see how stupid
some things make people look. I don't know if it was working, but if it didn't, I
hope this does. People have become so vengeful, hateful and totally disrespectful
lately. Myself included! So, as I said before, this will be the last article I
write for a long while. Unless people don't grow up, then I'll just start making fun
of them again. Let's see the type of atmosphere that North Fork is famed for. Have
fun and enjoy. It's what the game is about, isn't it?
Signing off,
Boca Mierda

Sir Chester entered the arena where the people had gathered to see gladiators
duel and be victorious or be killed. Sir Chester raised his arms and the crowd
became quiet to listen to what the pud manager had to say.
Sir Chester began to speak. "Ladies and Orcs give me your ear for just a minute
if you will. I and my stable have come here to be involved in this mighty TW4 and
thus far we have managed to have a 9-1-0 record!!! Things look pretty grim...grim
indeed, but...things are about to get better for the stable I have. It seems that
two new gladiators have come for a job. I'll take these two puds who do normal
damage and kick the living daylights out of these other so-called gladiators. Just
wait and see if it's not true what I'm telling you."
Sir Chester walked away seeking out another manager who had had his fair share
of bad luck. Suiside, Sir Chester was looking for. Code Red was seen at the
watering hole...where Suiside had his face stuck in a big mug of the finest wine
around. Sir Chester looked twice at the manager of Code Red and noticed he had been
crying...crying a river in fact!
Sir Chester asked, "What's the problem, pal?"
Suiside responded. "What's it to you; looks like we have the same
problem...losing!"
Sir Chester busted out in laughter and spoke. "Nothing new for you ol' boy--
don't worry, things are about to get better."
The two managers noticed at the other end of the watering hole Baphomet sitting
my himself looking depressed and drunk. The two managers walked to stand beside
Baphomet and as Baphomet looked up, looked up with a shit eating grin on his old
mug...old beyond his years. Baphomet stated, "How you boys doing...not too good on
the sands, I see!!!"
Baphomet began to laugh like a madman and continued drunkenly speaking, "Heck,
if you boys keep coming up short and keep sending gladiators to the dark arena...you
might as well go back to Noblish Island and start all over again!"
Both Sir Chester and Suiside were blood red from embarrassment and things were
about to get ugly...the two managers walked off and waited outside to get some fresh
air...like there was any to be found in this city!
Sir Chester finally spoke, "Well, thanks be to the gods and our alliance mates.
If it weren't for them we'd be dead last place in this war!"
"Who gives a rat's anyway?" Suiside responded.
"For the sake of the gods...act as if you do care. Managers will have your ears
cut off for speaking in such a tone!" Sir Chester retorted.
"Whatever, I'm off for the night...see you in a few days!!!" were Suiside's last
words of the night.
"Take 'er easy fella...and quit drowning your sorrows in the wines of your
favorite inn...see you around," Sir Chester spoke for the last time.
Both managers walked their way home, searching for answers for their poor
managing for the last two months--Suiside in a depression and Sir Chester about to
Dark Arena every last gladiator in his stable!
Baphomet in the meantime was enjoying his victory of a 4-1-0 turn and boy was he
gloating! By the way...the writer of this knows the cost of misspelling manager's
names...so be it!
Sir Chester thought to himself, "I now have to fight for my stable and I only
hope that they bring my stable some honor, gods know the other three are not living
up to their tough talk, we will see what the future holds for us and everyone around
us."

The managers of the Illuminati sat at the huge dining table of the penthouse
inside the Lizard Tail's Inn.
"What is this big announcement?" Asmo asked and everyone just shrugged.
The double doors flew open and sulfuric smoke poured in.
Some of the new managers jumped up or leaned away while the veterans just shook
their heads as the cloaked figure of Suicide strode in.
"So why this meeting?" Asmo asked.
"I have a proposition," Suicide said, as he waved his left hand and the two
double doors shut. He walked to the head of the table. "I foresee a goal, each one
of you could fulfill that goal." He looked at each manager.
"Asmo, Talon Darkhart, Baphomet, Sir Chester and myself all put input to help
others in our cause and the new people who have joined us could likewise with
experience."
"This is old news," Baphomet voiced.
"I am looking to divide and control the opposition with one huge goal, total
destruction."
"And how will you do this?" Buddy Lee asked.
Suicide pulled down a map of SCOMSS Swamp. "Think of this place smelling as
fresh as brimstone. All those souls could be ours, the O.D.N. or One Demon Nation."
The managers looked at each other as Suicide went on. "Think about it. We will
demolish the opposition and destroy their hope of even thinking of being victor of
this contest, and devastate their dreams of leaving unscathed. We will turn this
arena into one hellacious crematory with the freshment of burning corpses. It'll be
so sweet."
Liam the Goth stood up. "Can it really be done?"
"One demon to another, either you're with us or get consumed by the flames. We
will not surrender. We will not take pleading nor give the injured mercy. We will
attack, attack, attack."
He strode back to the doors and at a wave of his left hand the double doors
opened. "Let me know your answers and let our opponents feel the total destructive
hand of a demon and let us feast on their rotten souls."
He walked out and the doors closed behind him.

Abraxis sat chatting with the imp that was bound to him. "Little fellow, I
think I will call you Ash in honor of another who will soon be subservient to me."
Abraxis, then held out some dark brown rectangles with strange markings on them.
They were very thick and smelled of the cocoa plant. "Take these to the kitchens of
Maximillian. When his cooks use them the consequences will be quite dire."
Ash grabbed the six bits and disappeared in a cloud of brimstone and fire. The
chamber filled with the Druid's laughter.
Abraxis sat in his study admitting the painting that was hanging over his
fireplace. It had been sent to him by his brother Nostradomus and was a full frontal
rendering of Maximillian wearing a blue frilly gown. The laughter just would not
stop.
Ash appeared in the kitchens at Max's and like his namesake, being not very
bright, he simply dumped the bits into Maximillian's teapot before porting away.
Shortly thereafter Maximillian had his daily cup of tea before his afternoon
walk. Max wondered as to the strange sweet taste in his cup. He then vowed to have
a talk with his cook.
Maximillian walked into town and no sooner did he arrive at the marketplace than
a strange cramping started in his belly. Max grabbed his rear as he looked
frantically around, but alas, no privy, poor Maximillian!
Ash returned to find Abraxis dozing in front of his fireplace. He then curled
up in the fireplace where it was nice and warm to await his Master's bidding.

Heathen's Cafe
Wee now we're making some progress--input from veterans, some disagreement and
healthy debate! That's what the cafe is for folks.
Thank you for sharing the memories, Snarky. O'Lance sounds like a physical
specimen that even the scummy types avoided! Though with that 8 wit I can see why he
met the end he did. May he rest in peace.
Would love to read the article on wastes, Oz, or anything else written by you
and the Consortium as I'm sure I could learn a great deal from your vast knowledge--
you know my address should you feel generous!
Ok Buddy Lee, as to your assertions--nothing with a 17 wit is a scum anything!
Granted, if a waste (or any other style for that matter) were to get little damage,
then I'd consider DAing him though with my design he would have to be seriously hosed
to get that rating and would more than likely get good damage, especially after at
train of ST to 16, which wouldn't burn any skills. Roughly 70% of my wastes and
blessed in damage, while only 5% or less have been hosed--in fact, I have a waste
right now with 15 ST/13 SZ who does Tremendous damage! If you check your handy
damage chart this guy would have been lucky to get Great, let alone tremendous, and
yet many of my wastes get blessed in this way.
Secondly, you said these damage ratings won't cut it in the higher brackets of
the game and I agree with that. In regular arenas a waste with normal damage can get
by and be very successful, but consider this: a 17 wit will learn three to four
skills a turn on average and wastes learn parry and attack first, so conceivably they
could max these two skill areas in 20-30 fights and you could train ST as much as you
need to for a damage rating. Mannaz Throsson, who is currently in DM 106 is 17-11-1
(three of those losses came in Aruak City when he'd killed on his first turn and was
bloodfeuded by a warrior with 34 FE in the arena!) and looks like this: 16(1)-11(2)-
8-19(2)-19(2)-5-13 and he already maxed his parry and attack. So once I train his
strength up I'll gain extra with no burn and probably get great damage. Those in TW
II will remember Mannaz as he went 8-2 during the contest and represented as my
champion! It's all in the development Buddy Lee and if you don't have the patience
to develop a great waste, then perhaps you should stick with lungers! Thanks for
your input though; that's what I'm trying to promote.
This week's question: How important is a damage rating and what effect does it
have? Can the use of a good favorite (SC or LO) and good attack skills make up for a
normal or even little damage rating?

"From the Sidelines"
And they're off! The Turf War has started, and now the sheep shall be
separated from the wolves (or War Beast). On second thought, War Sheep might be more
apt, but our good host seems to have redeemed himself in the war's second turn.).
You would think that after all the boasting the Desolate Empire did that they
would've at least posted a positive score. TATIOAHC, you spilled the beans (Sorry,
couldn't help myself!)
This will be a short one. I'm hoping that they posted the ones I wrote for last
turn. (That, and the voices in my head are fighting again.)

Hello there, it's me again, with my madam's take on life. It seems that the
insults were a little quieter last turn, and the he said/she said was held to one
drunken druid. I am still awaiting the fallout from my last ramble. It should be
gracing the pages of this newsletter. Am I being a little egotistical in thinking
that people will waste their time responding to what I wrote? Maybe, but I believe
that some won't be able to stop themselves from responding. They have to save face,
you understand. (I wonder how many of my warriors died in challenges from angry
managers, but then again, I don't really care.)
The Klown War Kronicles, fascinating. Cute how this Boca Mierda replaced all of
his (her?) C's with K's. I distinctly remember a manager in another arena
(Chimlevtal, I believe) who did the same thing. Could it be that this Boca Mierda is
that self same manager in disguise who wants us to think it's a copycat? (Great, now
my head hurts.)
Whoever you are, you're nothing but a petty rumor monger. Just another example
of the immature fools who are infecting this great game. All you do is spew venom
and bite at those around you. Why? What was done to you that you feel the need to
belittle the other players? I say get over it. You need a better motivation than
spite.
I used to write stories now and then for the entertainment of everyone in the
arena with me. If I was going to use another's alias or warriors, I ASKED. I even
gave them a heads' up on what I was going to do. (Ain't I nice?) I might be
persuaded to start writing a story for all of you, especially if someone (anyone)
asks me nicely (assuming I don't keel over dead from the shock of being shown that
common courtesy).
As I end this I want to give you a parting shot, er, thought. Never forget that
words are a weapon that hits as hard as any other.

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I am Hourglass. I am a two-time Duelmistress of SCOMSS Swamp, formerly North
Fork. I'm honored to be the top warrior in such a prestigious arena.
I am often asked, "What makes you such a winner?" or "Are you a godling?" I
answer them all with a simple statement. "I am a Consortium Waste".
In a spotlight this week at Heathen's Cafi, you can read about me and others
like me. In this column I will share with you the details of a complete "me".
My natural 36-24-36 curves actually look like this:
13(+1)-14(+1)-12-15-18(+1)-5-11(+1)
There is not much out of the ordinary there and I am completely mode. It sure took a
lot of gym and aerobics work to get my 36-24-36. Yes, indeed!
My key vitals are good endurance and good damage, both of which are pretty much
as you would expect. With my hourglass figure, and my aerobic activity level, I am
"good" in close up situations of all types, if you know what I mean. (wink)
The commission decided that I was to be a
War flail/moderate/low/parry/learn attack
But I had most success with the scimitar (10/68/13) and the great axe (31/166/15). I
have never tried the whiffle.
My results, as you know were very good, with a 19-2-0 arena and 2 DM crown
status, and a 60% record in my 38 tournament fights. No TV's, I am sorry to say.
I will fight in one more tournament as a Challenger, hoping for a 4 or 5 win
resultant in that very difficult class--especially for a waste. And then I have one
more arena title fight before retirement along with the other 400+ Consortium Lord
Protectors.
Actually, I will then pursue my dream of extensive travel, following that yellow
brick road all throughout the land. It will be fun, and a whole lot safer!
Meanwhile, good luck and godspeed to you all. It has been an ultimate high in
North Fork. And certainly--GO SCOMS TOWER!!!
Hourglass, Duelmistress II
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly SCOMSS SWAMP games. Former top team SECOND BANANAS
was unseated this week as ALL SWAMP HAMMERZ moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top
spot with a 4-1-0 record for the round. I have begun to suspect trickery on the part
of DARQUE FORCES. How else weeks like this one's 3-2-1? How else the sudden move to
13th team? The proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare with OF WOLF AND
MAN's team record! A 3-2-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 14th place ranking.
COFFEE RULES! bore the brunt of major assault on their standings this week as they
dropped to 17th position as the result of going 3-2-0! I have begun to suspect
trickery on the part of OLD HABITS. How else weeks like this one's 3-2-1? How else
the sudden move to 18th team? The proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare
with MANEGERIAL MAYHEM's team record! A 3-1-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 20th
place ranking. My tutors were fond of telling me that the higher you rise the harder
you fall. This week LIFE'S LESSONS went 1-3-0 and fell 13 notches into 23rd!
NATURAL B. KILLERS 2 bore the brunt of major assault on their standings this week as
they dropped to 25th position as the result of going 1-4-0! My tutors were fond of
telling me that the higher you rise the harder you fall. This week SOULFORGE went
1-4-0 and fell 16 notches into 30th! FALLEN bore the brunt of major assault on their
standings this week as they dropped to 31st position as the result of going 2-3-0!
My tutors were fond of telling me that the higher you rise the harder you fall. This
week DOK SIK KILLAS went 1-4-0 and fell 11 notches into 32nd! Did only my eyes note
the 4-1-0 record which LEADERS managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a
record will draw challengers! I could not but notice the fine record for THINGS I
DROOL IN (4-1-1) after their first round of combat. May the gods of war favor you in
SCOMSS SWAMP! SISTER MARY CLARENCE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as she skillfully bested ZOMBIE KNIGHT and was awarded 26 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, STEAL SHANK put down PAUL
BEARER, causing him to lose 17 points of recognition in the process. The city has
turned out in honor of KALYPSO, for with hers arena victory she may now lay claim to
the highest position in the city! Informants "close" to the city champion have told
me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In SCOMSS SWAMP "art" is a word that
has long since passed from the language! SCOMSS SWAMP, city of gladiators! Mighty
among the names of thy guilds is SOULFORGE, a guild shunned and avoided by many in
the weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of SOULFORGE are catching the bulk of
jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty
fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. EBOLA (Z) take warning!
You have more than a few enemies in SCOMSS SWAMP. As a gladiator gets older, the icy
grip of fear lays hold of his heart. True, ACE METRIC? Who could miss your "brave"
challenge of GREGOLA? The weight of the challenge fell hard upon GREGOLA and
predictably she was beat by ACE METRIC. This is how to arouse the anger of an entire
guild! I cannot but express pride for the fearlessness of JABBERWOCK who cast
caution to the winds and challenged KRAMER, a fighter 37 points higher. 1 points of
newly earned recognition and a dose of my admiration is what JABBERWOCK must now
weigh against the defeat which resulted. Give FREEZE DRIED credit for hers courage.
Did you note how she challenged ART PENDRAGON despite the 29 point difference in
their rankings? Truth to tell, FREEZE DRIED did not come out of the fight a winner,
but she managed to capture much attention, gaining 2 in recognition. BONDS ON 'ROIDS
must really be harboring a grudge against the MAESTUS MORTALES guild! Merciless, 17
challenged down BLACK BALL points this week to duel with it. Few would not have
guessed the outcome of the bout as BLACK BALL lost to BONDS ON 'ROIDS. Is this what
passes for courage in SCOMSS SWAMP? At the gambling halls I have started to bet
money on OUT TO KILL. She has got the courage it takes. Witness hers challenge this
turn against GENESIS! The DARK PINNACLE stable will be up late tonight, for indeed
it was OUT TO KILL who claimed victory in the contest, ascending 25 in recognition!
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. I have seen warriors die in youth. I
have seen men cut down in their prime. This week GOTHIC MINISTRY must mourn the loss
of 6-3-1 INCUBUS to LOST SOULS. I must report the passing of ZOMBIE KNIGHT, veteran
of many duels. 10-7-0 final record Its was not illustrious--but death plays no
favorites. The warrior's path is harsh. For mediocrity there is but one
reward--death. This past week BEAR NEKKID, at 13-9-0, departed SCOMSS SWAMP forever.
My hearty congratulations JUSTICE FOR ALL, for thy revenge upon WILSON, slayer of thy
fallen comrade. Next time it will know better, eh? Dark alleys may hide both
secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep
vigil always!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a
stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Swamp Claw Hammer -- Are you always this easy? Aren't you embarrassed that of a
hammer and a piece of chinaware, I won? -- Dainty China
Crip, Slugbait, Soultaker -- I look forward to seeing you at The Face. We will
probably miss our fellow Mannequin, but perhaps we will all do well for the glory and
honor of SCOMSS Swamp. -- Oz The All-Excited
Blood Rayne -- Thanks! The Illuminati will certainly not miss those 5 points! It
was my pleasure to make you say "Uncle" and "Bah, Humbug". -- Humbug (not feeling so
"bah")
Vendetta Cartel -- Congratulations on your fine first round. Nice scores, Street and
Kat. You are the kind of team that is going to make this competition very, very
interesting! -- Oz The All-Praising
Kalypso -- Once was not enough. Perhaps you will save the last dance for me? --
Hourglass, Duelmistress
Illuminati -- May we ask who that was with the low score on your team first round?
Kudos to Baphomet for his contribution of points, but even more for hosting this
event so well. -- Oz The All-Thankful
Spawing Of Spew -- I was all up for the challenge and you caught me at my very best.
By the way, what does a little doggie do with a decise skill? -- Toto
Baphomet -- Perhaps I am dense. (Did I really say THAT?) But I did not understand
the Muppets reference. -- Oz The All-Puzzled
Ultraist -- Is there some true significance to your first round zero score? Is
Tripwire going to have to carry the whole council both here in the Swamp and at The
face? -- Oz The All-Curious
Sara F -- You again? I thought we already had it settled that you were my daddy? --
Fighting Tree
Hail, Hammer. Thank you for your kind words about strategy and Hourglass. You can
read all about her in the DM Column and a Spotlight in this newsletter. -- Oz The
All-Proud
Toker -- I had to talk long and hard to convince Lady Fern to return to Fratsfa for
your fine competition. And I agree Crip is always a good surprise. -- Oz The All-
Helpful
All -- Good luck to everyone in this Turf War competition and at The Face. May you
do SCOMSS Swamp/North Fork proud.
Freeze Dried -- My hat's off to you, Champ! Will see you again in the future and
hope luck is on my side next time. -- Arauthator!
Blackened -- Nice duel! Next time the gods will be with me. -- Claugiyliamatar!
Son Youg Moon -- With my loss to you, my manager is sending me to my fate! --
Valamaredace
Buddy Lee -- Sorry for the long delay. Steal Shank looks very nice! Crush the
foes!! Will get with you soon. -- Sir Chester with a (0-5) turn
Liam the Goth -- Sorry... (Arauthator!) just lost to Freeze Dried. Will talk to you
soon. Hoping for better turns. -- Sir Chester
Asmo -- Good to see you around. Hope you do well and much better than I. -- Sir
Chester
Illuminati -- Again, job well done, no thanks to me! -- Sir Chester, praying for or
to my war gods
Baphomet -- Well, well, well, what a monstrosity! What a savagery! What a
shellacking my stable and I have taken! Hoping to find a potion of deflection...can
anyone help me with this? -- Sir Chester, whimpering in a corner
All -- Good luck to you, or should I say, "better luck than me"? -- Sir Chester
Ice Pick, Hammer -- Thanks a million. -- Sir Chester, waiting to see how things turn
out this time
SCOMSS Swamp -- Hopefully since this turn runs on my son's birthday it will bring me
luck. Crossed fingers. -- Az
Abraxis -- First the name AZRAEL that I was using comes from Judeo-Christian
mythology as an angel of death. Second, don't quote comics to a fan-boy. I have
nearly the whole run of the Azrael comic. I started reading it because of the
character's name. Jean-Paul wasn't psychotic, he was schizophrenic, I leave it to
you to learn the difference. In the only physical confrontation that he had with
Bruce (that I have seen, as I said, I have nearly the whole run) he handed Bruce his
butt. Bruce had to use mental trickery to beat him. Jean-Paul no longer has that
particular problem. And let us look at something else: Bruce vs. Bane 1-1. Az vs.
Bane 3-0. As for history repeating itself let us remember what Tim Drake said to
Bruce concerning Azrael, "Everything you want people to believe you are, He IS." So
bring it on you Caped Clown, bring it on. -- Azraelus
Maximillian -- Illuminati can't stand up to the VC? Poor delusional fool. As far as
calling out Hammer goes, be wary of the lone wolf, the pack is rarely far away. --
Azraelus
Toker -- Spell check. Coward. -- Azraelus
Baphomet -- If I haven't verified Suicide (our team is freakin' huge!!!) I do so now.
-- Talon Darkhart
Oz -- Nemesis and his tendency to run blind warriors will teach you that we don't
even need one eye to defeat you. -- Azraelus
Baphomet -- The Opera declares Medee (5642) as its Champion for the Turf War. --
Impresario
Raven -- Holy S@#@!! Wow...just...Wow! Congrats on the TC! That's totally
unbelievable! I'm proud to be a member of the X-Syndicate with you. You go, girl!
-- Impresario
Nycadaemon -- Good challenge. Glad that worked out my way. -- Medee
Bear Nekkid -- Love that name. -- Wozzeck
Riker -- Ouch! -- Faust
Jack Der Rierre -- Let me be the first to congratulate you on your victory. Well
done! -- Lowell
Of Wolf & Man -- As promised, I'm back and ready for action--and definitely NOT
avoiding you. Will I be seeing Justice for All? -- Wilson
Leet Streegle -- My performance in the arena continues to exceed my manager's
expectations. -- Jack McFarland
Bombadil -- My apologies for the down-challenge/style mismatch. Sometimes you have
to take one for the team. -- Kramer, wingman for Ace Metric
Woody has gone to the big bar in the sky. Everyone say hello to Louie (DePalma) and
make the little psychopath feel at home here in the Swamp. -- Mannequin, mgr. Second
Bananas
Lost Souls -- Thanks for the kind words. We congratulate you and yours for a
marvelous tourney performance. The Swamp's talent continues to improve! Salute! --
Mannequin, mgr. Second Bananas
Buddy Lee -- Sorry no diplo this time, but I'm moving. Let me get settled, and I'll
send you what I have. -- Jorja
SCOMSS SWAMP Psychos and all you other Turf War 4 Toughies -- The creative spark is
rekindling and hopefully both last cycle's and this cycle's Hammer spotlights are
seeing print in our beloved swamp! Still no resolution on paper regarding my
situation overseas as revealed by my spotlight that was intended for print last
cycle. However, I am with my busy teaching schedule steadily amassing the coins to
purchase my fare for travel back to my homeland for the holidays! Hopefully matters
will be resolved in my favor by next cycle! -- Hammer; the Illuminati Ice Pick of
International Real Life Intrigue
Steel Shank -- Sure just come up North, were quite hospitable. -- Maximillian
Zombie Knight -- Oooo that had to be embarrassing. -- LBM
Ahura Mazda -- Watch out; next time that little trick won't work again. -- White
Settler
Swamp Trap Hammer -- Man, just a little on the scummy side, eh! -- Hitler Youth
Amela Bunderson -- Maybe you need a smaller stick. -- Clintonlikesbush
Killing Joke -- Man it was like, Ready! Set! and you had already gone.... -- Devout
Christian
Goat -- Where are you, buddy? We need your help for the Turf War. -- *Lasher*
Dark Knight Toker -- Thank you for your support and advice. It is an honor to fight
beside you in the Turf War. -- Lasher
All -- I am a new manager and I am still learning and would appreciate any advice
from the veteran managers. Thank you and much respect to all of you. -- *Lasher*
Dark Knight Toker -- We stand at a crossroad, action on both parts will determine the
outcome of our relationship. I have no ill will for anyone in this land. The ball
is in your court. Funny, I almost probated with you guys, but someone talked me out
of it. It would have been strange to be fighting against friends in your war, much
like Abraxis and Baphomet are. I, being friends with Hammer, Baphomet and Sensei
Jan, yes it would have been strange. -- Liam the Goth
P.S. Though had I not come to SCOMMS, things would have been very different.
P.P.S. Anyone who likes vampires is good in my book.
Oz -- Well thank you. We'll see how well I do in the presence of so many Master
Managers. We will see if faith will smile on me. -- Liam the Goth
Assur -- Welcome. I for one would rather run in to hades than your boys. -- Liam the
Goth
Hammer -- Yes Trocar, will be there in one form or another. Have to see how
something comes out. The silence is too much for me to bear. See you at Foul Marrow
Castle for some fishing on Lake Moruchei. -- Liam the Goth
Azraelus Prime -- Good to hear from you. Sent a letter. Hope the Face was great. --
Liam the Goth
Maximillian -- Thank you. So when's the next madness? Morya was a little dead last
month. I came back and everyone runs away. Not cool. What do I have, some blood
stuck on my teeth? -- Liam the Goth
Suiside -- Guess Az and Assur didn't know you are TCB, hum...good to be working with
you and don't mind my undead demon Slayers. They ate already. -- Liam the Goth
Heathen -- To you as well. Wastes, you say. You would love some of the undead I
have. 11-12-7-15-17-5-17, 13-8-8-17-15-5-17, 13-13-3-17-19-4-15 and 15-12-3-17-17-3-
17. I have DAed most of them due to little damage. Oh well. -- Liam the Goth, fan
of the week
P.S. Buddy Lee and I come from the same school and teacher.
Illuminati -- Oops, my bloody finger. -- Liam the Goth
Captain Coffee -- A friend of a friend is a friend. -- Liam (drinking his iced
coffee) Goth
Sir Chester -- Hum...worm food and spilled blood. Now that's what I call lunch!
Missed you in Jhans. What Bandit is dead? -- Liam the Goth
Asmo -- Yes behind on your writing indeed. Too busy tormenting those fellows
captured in the Necropolis. Hope they tell you who has the Sigil. Can I borrow a
few of your Devils? Need them in Trocar until I finish the catalyst of the awaking.
-- Liam the Goth, Company man
Baphomet -- Regrets. No can't say I have any. Should be a fun ride, my brother.
I'll be at the citadel of Shadows looking up something. In the middle of re-
deploying my forces throughout Alastari. -- Liam the Goth, Paladin of the order of
the Red Crescent
Snark -- The Gandhi award huh? Well thank you, I think. May you know that sweetness
of victory. You're definitely one of the most fun managers I've come across--a true
honor to meet you. -- Liam the Goth
Holle 'Cherry -- Nice challenge. Didn't see it coming. -- Spectre
Unleash -- Oh sure, just Unleash on me. Thanks a lot. -- Dead Roses
Buddy Lee -- Now you know why! Not for real though; life is too short to be anything
else than HAPPY! And I do try my best. -- D.K. Toker
Baphomet -- Right you are, there was no disrespect or innuendoes. My apologies, good
sir! -- D.K. Toker
P.S. Did you receive my snailmail?
Ebola(Z) -- If I wasn't so worried about you being contagious, I might have asked for
dinner and a movie. After spanking that brown bottom of yours, I was kinda excited
and wanted more! -- Tressa
Party Trap -- Rightly named you are. I came for a party and it ended a trap! Good
fight! -- Dantillius
Buddy Lee -- I don't know you, but you seem rather idoneous to the game. -- Abraxis
Goat -- Where are you, my hircine one? -- Abraxis
Lasher -- Your Mayfair Witches have done a wonderful job! -- Abraxis
Azrael -- On second thought, I realize that you are merely picayune! As my will, so
mote it be! -- Abraxis
TDH -- My dear sir, you edentulous, eructative, gnathonic, glabrous cretin! You are
not fit to fight in this arena. You are totally eleemosynary! As my will, so mote
it be! -- Abraxis
Punk-Diddy -- The company you keep! -- Abraxis
Mr. Coffee -- Double mocha latte please! -- Abraxis
Heathen -- I'm thinking about bringing back my limerick corner. What do you think?
-- Abraxis
Buffy -- Er, Baffy, I like the breakdown that you sent me. Keep up the good work! --
Abraxis
Darque -- I noticed your absence last cycle. What's wrong, did you give up on your
new boys too! -- Abraxis
Hammer -- I've been asked by a friend to leave you be, but I still think you're
exiguous, callipygian and prolegomenous! As my will, so mote it be! -- Abraxis
Marauders -- Congrats on your 5-0 opener. And welcome to SCOMSS Swamp. -- Mr.
Coffee/Coffee Rules!
Hammer -- That is some Lily! Wow! -- Mr. Coffee
Slugbait -- What do you say to a possible SCCOMS alliance sometime down the road? --
Mr. Coffee
I hope that "possible" is correct. It got to me as "sposbile", which didn't
make any sense. Come to think of it, not making sense might be what you
intended, no? -- Ed.
Oz -- Oh! Ambidextrous! And I thought Baphomet meant Mannequin went TO AND FROM
work. Thanks for clearing that up. -- Mr. Coffee
Humbug -- No, the luck was all ours in fighting such an experienced warrior. --
Freeze Dried
P.S. I slowly ground the beans and lulled you to sleep--rather boring...grinding
beans.
Morwhen -- Indeed you were fortunate. You won, and you deserved it. -- Cafe Au Lait
Swamp Claw Hammer -- Slip one past Hammer, NEVER! And you were the proof. --
Capuccino
Buddy Lee -- Better wired than on decaf. -- Mr. Coffee
Gangsta Creep -- You're welcome for the compliment. -- Mr. Coffee
Heathen -- Need your FULL address for direct communication. -- Mr. Coffee
Heathen -- Good showing! Let's keep up the momentum. The Fuhrer has been at it for
a while. Hope he can game soon. -- Mr. Coffee
Arauthator -- You should have stuck to Sweet N Low. That's what happens when a
champion faces a real champion. Good luck in the future--against other warriors. --
Freeze Dried
Hammer -- You gave me the "key" to improving and it is showing...I won, I won. --
Cappuccino
Managerial Mayhem -- You won and I got the skills. -- Mr. Coffee
Baphomet -- Yes, you are. -- Mr. Coffee
Coffee -- 3-0 with two DA is about as serious as I can get for the moment and though
the RUGS didn't give me much to work with I'll keep what I have and do the best I
can! I won't go minus points again, if that's what you mean by serious. But I can't
promise huge gains either! -- Heathen
P.S. "Oz and his Cronies" sounds like a group from the big band era!
I thought that was "Oz and the Ozettes". -- Ed.
Chester -- You of all people should be aware of my methods and know that Sir Prize
served his purpose, though it should have been the turn before! Good luck this
turn!!! -- Heathen Hatebred
Mr. Pee -- The true mystery is how your manager keeps the names of his warriors out
of the newsletters, though they fight two turns in a row! -- Miss B. Haven
Lethal -- Not so much huh? It's pretty sad when I have a bigger weapon than you do!
Like they say: when all else fails, pick up a BIG weapon!! -- Dick
Lowell -- Fortunately for you, without violating the rules I cannot bloodfeud again
and Heathen doesn't have anyone else who could beat you. So thanks for the few
points we received. -- Jack
"A happy life is impossible--the highest to which a man can attain is an heroic
course of life."
Expatriate -- I admire your fortitude and desire for a fresh start, here and
elsewhere. Over time I think we all learn that it's really about the game, not the
ego. It just takes some longer than others. I'm sure there are still some around
who remember how obnoxious I was in the beginning! -- Heathen Hatebred
P.S. Feel free to join "the Alliance that isn't Oz or his cronies" if you'd like to
join in the fray known as Turf War 4.
Dannia tyl Sio -- I'll be right up there to "cool you off." -- Shade, Nemesis (My Ma
was a "shrew" Shew, therefore tall, but not too.)
Mirta -- Origin? Pause to flip back through the moments of our brief but intense
affair on the hot hot sands, my lady. -- Ironbar, Nemesis
300 of PBA -- You're better than 300 on the PGA. I demand a rematch! -- Shade, baked
at 300 on the sandy lanes
Pooh-Bear -- I was just making sure of you. -- Ironbar
Who will sign my petition asking G., Sheila to track the number of times each
immortal Lord Protector is "killed"? -- Snarky, mgr. Nemesis
Historian -- Welcome to here! Competition you will receive! Remember to have lots
of fun. If you need help I'll be glad to help out. -- Blackstorm, mgr. Black Storm
(sigh)
Bombadil -- ...eyes fell out after...last blow.... -- Zombie
Here, have a potato. -- Ed.
Snarky -- I do try. Things will be back in order next turn. I don't like to drop
like this. -- Blackstorm
Richard Cranium -- Blackstorm thought I was a Waste. Good thing only you saw it, but
now I got new gear. -- F - Bloodblade
P.S. What's with that downchallenge you received. Let's rip 'im apart!
Baphomet -- Thanx for letting us in. I am real sorry about Amalric. The bloodlust
is strange for him; even at a three he has come close two or three times already. --
Blackstorm
Dyer's Eve -- Now wasn't that cute. That is way too big. -- Black Thunder
Kalypso -- That rocked!!! But not to my advantage. I'll roll up a big one and come
see you again. -- MM
Clintonlikesbush -- You lucky, you no do again, uhhh. -- Zombie Knight
Ed. -- Do you think we could get Darque Forces warriors listed on the list? Thanks!
-- Baphomet
Listed on the list? Ummm...if you mean the list I put a bit further down, no
problem. If you're talking about the regular, every-turn team and warrior listings
in the newsletter, I have nothing to do with that. That's a CSR thing and I'm not
sure they've gotten it fixed yet anyhow. -- Ed.
Mr. Oz -- Don't know about being a gentleman, but...I respect the wishes of my
friends. Lord willing, this situation is about to come to a close in the very near
future. -- Baphomet
P.S. Is that what they call it nowadays? Ambi?
Mannequin -- Say it ain't so!! -- Baphomet (grin)
Snarky -- You better stop looking at Manny's Bananas or someone's gonna think you're
ambi too! -- Baphomet (chuckling at potty humour)
Just low on potassium. -- Ed.
Asmo -- Rarely do I pay attention to princes. They tend to be knaves. Unless
they're ambi...then they're queens. Of course, if that were the case, it's Crip who
runs Royal here. -- Baphomet (grin)
I 'spect that'll just about be enough of that now. -- Ed.
Liam -- When I said, "put 'em on ice..." I thought you were talking about
enemies...not some sick Bloody Mary you concocted! -- Baphomet
Chaotix -- O-kaaaaay! But, you might want to remind Raven. -- Baphomet
Impresario -- Yeah, I am just a tad smarter than the average bear. Unless it's one
of The Bear's Paws. Then I'm a whole lot smarter! (grin) -- Baphomet
Kat -- Just kidding. Don't choke on a furball! -- Baphomet (chuckling)
Hammer -- Thanks for your prayers. Know that ours continue on behalf of you and
yours. Truly...your service is that of a hero! -- Baphomet
P.S. And, you *ARE* a soldier for The King of Kings!!!
Murker -- Gotcha! -- Baphomet
The Historian -- Gotcha! -- Baphomet
Liam -- Not a problem. This is "the Company of Brothers!" Not, I'm over you...I'm
your boss...not...I'm the alpha male...etc. WE are in THIS together!!! -- Baphomet,
TCB
Mr. Coffee -- Actually, I think it was my warriors doing the falling! -- Baphomet
Asmo -- Appreciate the accolades, but...it wasn't I who promoted this shindig. More
like The Consortium, Bookie, Hammer, Az, Tripwire, Mr. Coffee and Master Darque. It
was their efforts, and the efforts of the previous host...*YOU!* -- Baphomet (just
picking up the slack)
Saint -- Take your time. No big rush. -- Baphomet
Ummm...for what? Was I supposed to do a manager list for y'all? I was out of
town last time the arena ran, so I'm a bit behind the times. Just in case that
IS what I'm supposed to be doing, here's a list. It's teams listed in last
turn's newsletter. If I've gotten anyone's name wrong, just let me know and
I'll fix it. -- The Saint, often confused keeper of lists

Dark Heart -- My manager said that I should have danced with you longer, but I got
tired. -- Diptheria
Tressa -- I now have to write things on paper, for what you did to me. -- Ebola (z)
Out to Kill -- Would you like to go and lift some weights with me? That way you can
use a heavier weapon. Ha ha. -- Marburg
Snarky -- We of Dark Pinnacle nominate you for the Ghandi award. -- Buddy Lee
P.S. Steal Shank wanted to know why your guys are so stingy with the skills? He
says the only reason you bloodfeud is because he teaches well even if you suffer a
loss. It was well worth it. He wants to avoid.
Baphomet -- Great turn around, bro. Now if we can just catch up to Vendetta and
SCOMSS we'll be alright. -- Buddy Lee
All -- What?! "Not! Again!" Won!? Whohoo! He straight up suck, Ba 17-6-18-11-7-
16-9, Awesome dam! Born ex int! What?! I just want to know, who would keep this
Pud? -- Buddy Lee
P.S. And you wonder why I keep DAing? He's going back for a rematch. Hope he comes
back again!
Cardia Craig -- I no like you stare at me chest. I hurt you good, make you dead. --
Not! Again!
Impresario -- Welcome!? And what team is that? *All the idiots of Dark Pinnacles
raise hands in hope it's them* -- Buddy Lee
Illuminati -- Come on, boys! Time to send the rally monkeys out. SCOMSS Tower is
getting higher. Vendetta is putting the pedal to the metal! -- Buddy Lee
Mr. Coffee -- Thank you for the welcome. Had I known the swamp would be so fun, I'd
have come sooner. -- Buddy Lee
Sir Chester -- Any time, bro! Now go kick butt. -- Buddy Lee
Oz the all conquering -- What if some of us were cyclops? -- Buddy Lee, putting one
hand over one eye, imitating Cyclops
Appius -- Ugh! Thought you were a women. And to think I brought flowers to seduce
you. -- Incubus
Homey D. Clone -- Next time we dance try to cut it short around the ten minute mark.
-- Deadly
Historian -- You know, the first time I came to this arena was during TW2. It's
taken me all this time to build up the nerve to come back. Watch yourself. -- The
Expatriate
Incubus -- Well, so much for that. You are safe for the moment. I have no intention
to bloodfeud you with either of my good warriors. What kid of monster are you
anyway? -- The Expatriate
P.S. Brute said "ouch."
Liam -- I will be taking you up on your offer to drop you a line, but not just yet.
(very busy) Thank you and good luck. -- The Expatriate
Hammer -- You did respond but I am looking forward to hearing from you again. -- The
Expatriate
P.S. That's one.
Ed. -- I noticed the word changes in my spotlight. Well done. -- The Expatriate
Word changes like "you can't say that there here" or like "the typist gave it
her best guess and I have no idea what was supposed to go here but this is my
best guess"? Both get made on a regular basis. -- Ed.
Constantine -- You got away. Good fight. -- Fel Strike
Ether -- Your body is now in the ground and your soul is in the aether. HA! You
should've been more careful who you challenged. -- Oblivion
Wasby -- I have no idea why Oblivion went bloodthirsty like that. We await your
bloodfeud. -- The Expatriate
Oh where, oh where has my little klown gone? Oh where, oh where, oh where could he
be? Why'd you run off just when I came back, chump? -- The Expatriate (a blast from
your past)
Claugiylianatar -- I don't see how I increased my constitution. I didn't even break
a sweat. -- Damier Baneson
It seems that HAL ate all of my personal ads AND the spotlight I wrote for last
turn's newsletter. Needless to say, I'm a little upset. The only reason I don't
inflict HAL with a dreaded Golem Virus is the fact that Lady Scale's replacement was
an upgrade. All the personals for this turn are marked thus: (c). -- The Expatriate
Target -- That was the finest display of scumhood that I've seen in a while. -- Fel
Strike (c)
Bindi Atwater -- They boo at you and roar contempt at me. What does that say about
our skill as warriors? -- Oblivion (c)
Wasby -- What, no bloodfeud? -- The Expatriate (c)
Killer -- Unlucky random matchup for me. -- Danier Bareson (c)
Shade's Form -- SMASH! -- Brute (he learned a new word) (c)
Hammer -- I still haven't received the diplo you mailed to the commission. -- The
Expatriate (c)
P.S. Got it, one on the way.
Buddy Lee -- Declare? With who? Isn't it too late for all that? Besides, I'm
having too much fun from the sidelines. Thanks for the invite. -- The Expatriate (c)
Liam -- No, I'm not out to get you. As I tried to say last turn, your monster is
safe from me for now. -- The Expatriate (c)
P.S. Got your diplo; one on the way.
Mr. Coffee -- I don't see how. To my knowledge we have crossed neither swords nor
words since I've been playing. -- The Expatriate (c)
Snarky -- Sure potty humor's funny...if you're 12 (or on that level). -- The
Expatriate (c)
Obnoxious, er Abraxis -- You are supposed to be a druid, right? Druids are supposed
to be wise and knowledgeable. How is it that you don't know that Azrael is the name
given to the Angel of Death in several christian AND pagan texts on such things?
Maybe next time you should do a little research before you stick your foot in your
mouth (or at least wash said foot). -- The Expatriate (c)
Azraelus Prime -- Yes, I know you can speak for yourself, but I had a check mark that
was a perfect fit for Obnoxious' forehead. I hope you don't mind. -- The Expatriate
Jealousy Rains -- Not a very good challenge. -- Man Hunter
Sir Chester -- For starters Code Blue is totally overrated; Code Yellow is just a
caution and Code Red is complete chaos. Any more questions? Second, I am glad we
will be at arms together and not against. It will make things a whole lot easier. --
Suicide, watch of Hell's Gate
Illuminati members -- Let's make this place sing with our victims' screams. Let's
bring the aroma of brimstone into the air. And let us bring Hell's Fire onto the
swamp for the hell of it. -- Suicide -- Watcher of Hell's Gate
